Hi,

I can understand your concern for the red itch spots all over the body.

After reading the query, in my opinion it appears to be Urticaria which is due to release of histamine form white blood cells on exposure to water.

You should preferably meet a dermatologist who can examine you physically and provide you the best treatment.

For time being period you can apply a steroid cream such as cortisone cream and take antihistamine tablet such as loratadine or cetrizine. Do not worry she will be alright soon.

Take care.
